What is a "tree frog"?

A tree frog is a small, arboreal amphibian known for its ability to climb and inhabit trees. They have specialized toe pads that allow them to grip onto surfaces, making them excellent climbers. Tree frogs are often characterized by their vibrant colors and patterns, which serve as camouflage and warning signals. They are commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they can be heard singing their distinctive calls during the breeding season. Despite their small size, tree frogs play an important role in ecosystems as both predators and prey, contributing to the balance of their habitats.
